{"product_id":"ess-cdi-max-tactical-eyewear","title":"ESS CDI MAX Tactical Eyewear","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe ESS CDI MAX is a medium-large-fit tactical sunglass built for operators and professionals who need impact-resistant eye protection across changing light conditions. Its 2.4mm lenses meet U.S. MIL SPEC MIL-PRF-31013 (Clause 3.5.1.1), ANSI Z87.1-2015, CE, and U.S. Federal OSHA standards. The CDI MAX is available in Black and Terrain Tan frames, each including clear and smoke lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Demanding Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CDI MAX carries 2.4mm lenses (among the thickest found on any sunglass) paired with a maximum-wrap frame geometry that extends lateral coverage beyond what a standard sunglass profile provides. That combination means more of the eye and orbital area stays behind certified lens material when it matters. The frame is sized for a medium-large fit, giving wearers with larger faces a secure, stable platform rather than a compromised fit from a one-size frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFast Lens Changes in the Field\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ESS Lateral Exchange System lets the wearer swap lenses quickly without tools, adapting to shifting ambient light: moving from bright sun to low-light or indoor environments without stopping to change eyewear entirely. The CDI MAX is compatible with five available lens colors through this system, so the frame itself is a long-term platform rather than a single-condition solution. Each purchase includes two lenses: clear and smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCertified to Multiple Standards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CDI MAX meets four distinct compliance standards: U.S. MIL SPEC MIL-PRF-31013 (Clause 3.5.1.1), ANSI Z87.1-2015, CE, and U.S. Federal OSHA. All CDI MAX lenses provide 100% UVA\/UVB protection. These certifications make the CDI MAX suitable for professional environments where eyewear compliance is a documented requirement, not just a preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.4mm Lens Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra-tough lenses rated to MIL SPEC and ANSI Z87.1-2015 impact standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLateral Exchange System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tool-free lens interchange compatible with five available lens colors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Lenses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear and smoke lenses included with each frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Lens Wrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extended lateral coverage for broader eye and orbital protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% UVA\/UVB Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e All CDI MAX lenses block full-spectrum ultraviolet light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Standard Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e MIL-PRF-31013 (Clause 3.5.1.1), ANSI Z87.1-2015, CE, and U.S. Federal OSHA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eBlack\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eTerrain Tan\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKRC-ESS-740-0297\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKRC-ESS-740-0457\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrame Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.44 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.42 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLens Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e2.4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFit\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eMedium-Large\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIncluded Lenses\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eClear, Smoke\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUV Protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e100% UVA\/UVB\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompliance Standards\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eMIL-PRF-31013 (Clause 3.5.1.1), ANSI Z87.1-2015, CE, U.S. Federal OSHA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompatible Lens Colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eFive available (via Lateral Exchange System)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe CDI MAX suits operators, security professionals, and active users with medium-to-large faces who need certified impact-resistant eyewear that can adapt to multiple light conditions through lens swaps. Its multi-standard compliance makes it appropriate for professional environments with documented eyewear requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThe CDI MAX is sized for a medium-large fit and is not intended for smaller face profiles where a secure fit cannot be achieved. Additional lens colors beyond the included clear and smoke are not included and must be purchased separately. The CDI MAX is eyewear; it is not rated as ballistic eye protection under NIJ standards and does not provide ballistic fragmentation protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat compliance standards does the CDI MAX meet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ESS CDI MAX meets U.S. MIL SPEC MIL-PRF-31013 (Clause 3.5.1.1), ANSI Z87.1-2015, CE, and U.S. Federal OSHA standards. All CDI MAX lenses also provide 100% UVA\/UVB protection. These certifications cover impact resistance and occupational eye protection requirements across military and civilian professional contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the Lateral Exchange System work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ESS Lateral Exchange System allows the wearer to swap lenses on the CDI MAX without tools by sliding them out laterally from the frame. This makes it practical to change between the included clear and smoke lenses, or any of the five compatible lens colors, quickly in the field as lighting conditions change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat lenses are included with the CDI MAX?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eEach CDI MAX purchase includes two lenses: a clear lens and a smoke lens. The frame is compatible with five available lens colors total via the Lateral Exchange System; additional lens colors are not included and would need to be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat face size does the CDI MAX fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ESS CDI MAX is designed for a medium-large fit. Buyers with smaller face profiles should consider whether this sizing will provide a secure, stable fit before purchasing, as an improper fit can compromise both comfort and the protective coverage the frame geometry is designed to provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the CDI MAX provide ballistic fragmentation protection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ESS CDI MAX is certified to MIL-PRF-31013 (Clause 3.5.1.1) and ANSI Z87.1-2015 impact standards. No ballistic fragmentation rating under MIL-DTL-43511 or equivalent is stated for this product. Buyers requiring rated ballistic fragmentation protection should verify the specific standard required for their application before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ESS","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":67030918463859,"sku":"KRC-ESS-740-0297","price":101.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Terrain Tan","offer_id":67030918496627,"sku":"KRC-ESS-740-0457","price":101.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/ess-cdimax.png?v=1790997596","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/ess-cdi-max-tactical-eyewear","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
